Ben Affleck's take on AI and filmmaking: Innovation or threat to creativity?

Times of discover News: Ben Affleck, a famous Hollywood actor and producer, has recently shared his support for the inclusion of AI in filmmaking. He sees it as a technology that will empower filmmakers and creators rather than negatively affect them. According to him, AI will eliminate the laborious and less creative aspects of filmmaking, thereby reducing costs and providing opportunities to new creators.
Amid growing concerns and questions about the use of AI in the film industry, Affleck held a positive view. He said that AI may not replace the filmmaker someday, but this technology will bring major changes in visual effects and some other aspects of filmmaking.
The use of AI will reduce the cost of filmmaking, allowing indie filmmakers to make their films as well. AI will help the producer to make backgrounds more believable and change colors seamlessly. Through AI, viewers can now create fictional endings of TV shows and films according to their choice.
Affleck said that AI will impact the visual effects sector, eliminating the need for more human labor for many big-budget projects. AI only imitates existing things, and cannot generate anything new, so it can affect the creativity of the film.
Affleck also said that the use of AI will give filmmakers new ways to improve their creativity. For example, he believes that a more complete and creative experience can be provided to the audience through AI.
